Our beginnings

A practice before
a clinic.

The practice began in Mumbai in 1975. The dedicated aesthetic clinic followed at Marine Lines in 1993. Dr. Rekha Sheth’s work extended beyond her own patients to education within dermatology.

The practice today

Understanding comes before treatment.

Your concern is the starting point. We make time to understand it, assess it and explain the recommendation.

Meet our dermatologists

A medical assessment

Your dermatologist considers your history and examines your skin or scalp before recommending a treatment plan.

A plan you understand

We explain what we recommend, why it may help and what its limits are. There is time for you to ask questions.

Skin and hair, together

Hair and scalp concerns receive the same clinical attention as skin concerns. Both belong in dermatology.

Continuity of care

Your treatment history and notes remain with the practice, so another doctor here can understand the care you have already received.
